ScrumKids - Getting your children active
Rugby Activities for children aged between two and eight years old!

The ScrumKids programme is designed to build a passion and enthusiasm for the game as well as developing the core skills for a basic rugby ability.

For younger ones we work with colours, shapes, numbers, and a whole range of different motor skill games to aid their development and confidence. As children progress through the age groups we build on their understanding of the game and look at strategy and tactics, with a view to preparing them for tag rugby.

Our oldest age groups can be seen playing matches of tag rugby, learning about the tactical side of the game, and putting those skills in to practice.

Right at the heart of what we do are the values of the game of rugby. We believe fervently in reinforcing these values wherever possible and love to highlight when we see children acting within the spirit of the game we love. Examples of how these core values may have a positive impact upon your child during a session:

• Teamwork: Learning to play and work with others, as well as supporting and cheering for one another during challenges.
• Respect: Taking care of themselves and other children in the class, giving others the opportunity to show off skills and turn taking.
• Enjoyment: Taking pride in getting involved and throwing themselves in to an activity as well as relaxing in a new environment and spending quality time with you!
• Discipline: Learning to listen and control themselves when tasks are being explained as well as following the instructions given to get the best out of themselves.
• Sportmanship: Understanding that sometimes you win and sometimes you don’t! Learning that you can take pride in knowing you did your best and that is okay!

We take great care in choosing our coaches so that our Scrum Kids are only offered the best! ScrumKids is run by passionate people, all involved in the game at a variety of different levels. Our current crop of coaches include international players, grass-roots coaches, school teachers, personal trainers and professional club community coaches.

Our team are some of the most dedicated, experienced, and enthusiastic coaches in the country; see more details about our coaches here.

Our focus on quality sessions, doesn’t just stop with the session leader! The programme is designed to develop skills and with each session carefully planned, the progress is easy to see. We also hand pick our venues with great care. This means children can feel safe and happy in a positive environment that will get them excited about ScrumKids and passionate about rugby!
